Matucana madisoniorum

Small Matucana madisoniorum getting its first flower since I've had it. The pic is from a month ago. Shot this up close to get as much detail as possible and had to stop down to f/40 to get enough depth of field for the cactus and flower to be in focus. Then spent ages cloning out all the nicely-resolved sensor spots afterwards!
